   Legislating mandatory participation is not reform.   
   In a struggling economy, it's absurd.

   Not all of them. Not even most of them.

   They will stay pay nothing under Obama's "reform". The issue is that the   
   costs for those who do pay are skyrocketing.

   Obamacare adds millions of non-payers.

   Those things are still paid out of premiums. When the government said   
   the industry had to spend 80% of premium revenue on "healthcare costs",   
   the industry responded by reclassifying executive salaries as   
   "healthcare costs".

   I haven't watched 5 minutes of FOXNews in my life.   
   And my dog knows infinitely more about any topic than you.

   It's even more focused on that under Obamacare.   
      
   > The HC is NOT "Free" is it being paid for (by law)   
      
   It's not free *for me*. It is free for the morons that support the moron   
   in the White House.

   That's a lie.

   I understand it perfectly. I also understand that you don't know a damn   
   thing about it.
